TI2014 Secure zone

Thread needs solution

Hello,

I am trying to use the "Secure zone" in TI 2014, but the file naming does not reflect the name given to the task.

See the picture.... (original name was "W10-C-D", "W10-E-F".....)

Is it possible to rename theses files and how ??

Is it possible to delete a (tib) file without deleting the task, and how ??

Thanks for any answer

Jean, this is one of the known issues with using the ASZ as there is no user control over the backup file naming - this is still true in ATIH 2016 too but is intended to be changed in the new ATIH 2017 due to be released soon.

You would need to work through the ATIH 2014 program interface to identify which backup files are which.

Thanks for your answer Steve, another question:

Is it possible to delete a (tib) file in the ASZ, without deleting the task, and how ??

In the ASZ, the "unique version" sheme does not work properly, as a new tib file is created each time the task is started...so i need to delete the old version....

Many thanks

Jean

Jean, files in the ASZ should really only be deleted via the ATIH 2014 GUI or using auto cleanup rules.  Acronis will normally manage all the files in the ASZ without any need for user intervention.

The problem with manually deleting files in the ASZ is knowing which files are for what task given the cryptic names that get used.

Thanks Steve,

What do you mean by "deleted via the ATIH 2014 GUI" is it the supress (supprimer in french) command as show in my picture ??? but there is already 4 versions for this task how to delete the first or the second....??

Also how to use the "using auto cleanup rules" ???

Thanks again...

Jean, please see the ATIH 2014 User Guide: Backup schemes

Backup schemes

Backup schemes along with the scheduler help you to set up your backup strategy. The schemes allow you to optimize backup storage space usage, improve data storage reliability, and automatically delete the obsolete backup versions.

Backup scheme defines the following parameters:

  • Backup methods that will be used to create backup versions (full, differential or incremental)
  • Sequence of the backup versions created using different methods
  • Version cleanup rules

Below the above text is a screen image showing the cleanup rules that you can use which allow you to manage backups according to age, number of backups or the size of backups.

Hello Steve,

"Below the above text is a screen image showing the cleanup rules that you can use which allow you to manage backups according to age, number of backups or the size of backups."

Where is the screen image ???

In fact i am using the "Unique version" scheme (in french, see screen image), but in the ASZ, the old version is not replaced by the new version, (and stay in ASZ), so soon there is no more space...

Jean, the screen image is in the User Guide pages

See http://www.acronis.com/en-gb/support/documentation/ATIH2014/#16515.html

Thanks, i will try the custom scheme, but are you aware that the "single version" is not working in ASZ, the old backup is not deleted.....???

Jean, I am not aware of any problems with single version backups in the ASZ but I have to tell you that I do not the ASZ myself as I found that I could not identify my backups on a dual-boot system when I needed to recover one of my partitions and I wanted to have a lot more control of how my backups were named, managed, etc.

I have just created my own dedicated partition that I use for my backups instead of using the ASZ - I can also use this partition to hold other types of backups as needed, plus ISO images for Rescue Media etc.

Thanks Steve,

I tried to circumvent the problem:

Before starting the backup, i am doing the following:

  1. Save the script to be started to do the backup in another directory (single version task).
  2. Under TI gui, i delete the task being activated for the backup (this delete the tib file in ASZ and also delete the script from point 1)
  3. Copy the saved script in the script directory
  4. Under TI gui, edit the task and record the task without any change (this reactivate the task)
  5. Start the backup to create the new tib file.

This seems to work for me.

Thanks anyway Steve.

Regards
